Reconnaissance gestuelle – Comment ca marche ?

Introduction

Human body detection encompasses a range of technologies for detecting the presence of a human body in an area or space. Air conditioners that come with human detecting sensors and can detect people’s location to optimize comfort and energy-saving are one of the most common examples of this technology.

What this session focuses on, is Pose and Hand Pose detection. These detection techniques contain algorithms that help identify, where the body joints are positioned. Let’s dive right in!

This works in a similar fashion as the Pose Detection algorithm, with much more accurate tracking of the points on the hand. Pictoblox uses the MediaPipe model to detect Hands and Gestures. It predicts 21 3D hand keypoints per detected hand.

Usecases

Using the Human Body Detection Class of PictoBlox, you can analyze an image input from a camera or the stage.  Functions available under this class will help you to:

  1. Get the pose of a human body from an image.
  2. Get the number of people in an image.
  3. Get the x and y coordinates of body features like shoulder, nose, mouth, etc.
  4. Detect hands in an image.
  5. Get the x and y coordinates of hands and different fingers.
